Captain Critters Country Campground

This private campground sits directly off Highway 26 between Mitchell and Scottsbluff, with 36 full hookup sites spread across gravel lanes with playful names like Bunny Boulevard and Critter Court. The property features pull-through sites that accommodate RVs with trucks attached, though sites are positioned relatively close together throughout the compact layout.

Trees surrounding much of the campground provide wind protection, while a dog park offers space for pets with water bowls and play equipment. A small swing set serves families with children. The campground operates under new management working to address maintenance needs, including spray-painted tire planters and numbered electrical boxes that show wear. Yellow buckets cover water spigots at individual sites.

Train tracks run parallel to the highway on the opposite side, and passing trains sound their horns as they travel through the area. Michelle L. notes that the manager "is doing what she can to update and make sure everyone is happy." The campground attracts a mix of overnight travelers and long-term residents, with rates around $35 per night for full hookups.

Captain Critters serves as a convenient overnight stop for travelers exploring camping near Scottsbluff or those needing full amenities along the Highway 26 corridor.

Guests frequently mentioned the excellent management and helpful staff. Some feedback indicated maintenance needs throughout the property, though sites accommodate RVs well. Train noise experiences vary significantly between visitors.

Nice small basic RV park

The manager Sue is amazing and is doing what she can to update and make sure everyone is happy. Small all gravel park, spaced rather close to each other but it works. Mostly surrounded by trees to help with wind. Small dog park and I believe there was a swing set as well.

Site? can’t remember

Everything worked great

Super nice and helpful lady who runs the place. Heard the train only once. Little tight but the pull through was fine. Was able to leave the truck and trailer hooked up. We had no problems with anything.

Right off Hwy 26

Captain Critter Country campground is located right off of highway 26 between Mitchell and Scottsbluff Nebraska. There is a set of train tracks on the other side of highway,and the trains blow there horns when they come through. Scared the crud out of me because they were so loud. When you pull into the campground it is obvious real quickly that it is in need of some TLC. There are spray painted tires around saplings throughout the campground. Along with spray painted numbers on the electrical boxes and in need of some clean up. There are bright yellow buckets over the water spigots. One of the reasons we stopped was because it advertised a fruit orchard and veggie garden that we could pick from to eat. So I set off walking to find these. The fruit orchard is non existent. On brochure given said it was coming. And the veggie garden was very overgrown with weeds couldn’t tell if anything was planted in most of it. I passed by a once swimming pool that is beyond repair. With that being said the owner is super nice and the campground has 36 full hook up sites with more being made. We paid $35 for the night. The lanes are cutely named -Bunny Blvd,Critter Court, Deer Drive, Fox Fairway, and Gopher Gateway to name a few. The dog park is a nice size and has water bowls for the pups and deflated balls to play with. There is a small backyard swing set for kids and areas with trees that provide shade. The bathroom and showers are closed due to Covid. A lot of the campers look like full timers, and I did not see any tent areas.
